Proceeds support tree planting and forest protection efforts - such as invasive plant and forest pest management and early detection surveys - in Michigan state parks and recreation areas. FLSP, along with the Ludington Run Club, is holding an in-person group 5K as a fun way to log your miles while enjoying our state park's beautiful trails.
